Phi. Christ Jesus the Lord which is the self gentleness & love, which also refuseth no labour, no pain, no cost,, in seeking our salvation. He it is alone,1 which, as the Prophet sayeth: hath taken on him our infirmities, and borne our pains.2 He him self as Peter saith, bare our sins in his body on the tree, that we being delivered from sin, should live unto righteousness, By whose stripes ye were hea•ed. For as ye were as sheep going astray, but are now turned unto the shepherd, and Bishop of your souls.
